How to associate text to a view in drafting?

You have some text, you have some views. when you move a view you want the text to stay associated with it. Expanding the view and adding the text is not a good answer. What you can do is associated the text to the view, or for that matter any point in the view.

How you associate text to a part of the view is by:

right click on the text, selecting origin

Right Click on Text
right click on text
text origin associativity
Origin dialog

Select origin from the popup dialog. There the Origin dialog will be displayed.

From there you can drag (if not associated yet) to a new location, relative to a view, relative to some point (any point you have, can be a control point on a view). If you toggle on associative, when the view or point is moved so will the text.
